10 Unique Latvian Food & Drink Products You Must Try

Latvians like many cultures love their food and Latvia has some fantastic food and drink products that you really must try if you come to visit. In this video let me take you through my 10 recommendations (and there are many more) that you should buy and try at least once. And there's a bonus item as well at the end of the video!

It was difficult to try to think of a list of only 10 items and indeed the title because there's so much to talk about so I probably need to do separate videos to cover Latvian beers, Latvian meats, Latvian dairy products, and Latvian baked products.

In 2018 we left the UK to come to Gita’s family homestead here in north Latvia, not far from the Estonian border and now we live somewhere nowhere in the middle of a forest in a house built by Gita’s grandfather. We’re videoing our journey and trying to give you some insights into how we’re living here.
